Those of you in British Columbia and Alaska can just sit back and laugh at us, but man did we get hit! The Interstate is closed. Everything is at a total standstill, and even the road crews had to quit because of visbility. Anyone else snowed in? I think I'll finish painting my living room. The first person who posts a pic of themselves riding in sunny, balmy weather today will have a foot of this stuff shipped to them...as soon as the Post Office opens up again.:eek:
The snow missed me. :( We are under a tornado watch and it was 57 when I woke to get the boys up for school.
Guess it went north of you. 57? That's what is so weird, it was in the high 60s here until Wed. night and then Thurs morning BAM! 20 degrees, sleet and ice. An entire day of ice and then all night with snow. Without tv/radio/internet it would have been a complete surprise. I certainly understand how early settlers could get so easily caught in this stuff.Quote:

Yes, the boys are not happy that all around us is snow. My BIL and his family are expecting up to 18 inches of glorious snow. 57 is cold, we have been in the upper 60s. :( I want SNOW! I have a lot of rain and wind though. Yes I watched the front on and off all night, It went north and south of me, which is not uncommon. :( I hate Ohio. :( :(
Soon, I get to go back to bed, yay.
It looks like you got all my snow!
It's December - we haven't had a real snow yet. Only a few random flurries. It's raining today. I like warm weather, but it just isn't right this time of year in New England!
My daffodils are growing! :( :eek: :( I just hope they can make it in the spring after this false start.
Ottawa is under a freezing rain warning--but Heck! ALL we've seen for six WEEKS has been Rain. The fact that it is going to rain some More--and freeze up--just has us all shrugging, with a few curses thrown in. But--often enough, we're just happy we Haven't had the white stuff...............For me--That's it for this year's riding. I'm not so spry of limb I want to zoom around on slippery ground.

Bicycling is great here, too!
I'm with you uforgot. I sent the storm your way (sorry). :) We're snowed in here in Oklahoma City. 5-7 inches of the white stuff. Not a lot of snow, but take into consideration that 1 inch sends the city into a panic. This much snow has sorta shut the city down. Today the sun is shining so more people are out and about. We've had 2 snow days from work (I teach), the turnpike was closed, and I can't leave the house (DH took our only snow worthy vehicle to work). If it weren't nearly zero degrees, I might consider running or riding my mtn bike- but I'm staying inside. I'm a cold winter weenie.
I don't know how you ladies up north do this all winter long. I'm sooooo sorry...and now I feel your pain! :D

No mountains to downhill ski, too cold and windy to cross country ski - oh why oh why do I live here ? ? ?
Hi Bikingmomof3, where in WY did you live? I lived in Casper for 9 years. I loved riding in Casper. I could go out my back door and be in country in a mile. The only thing about Casper riding was the wind...headwind when you rode out, headwind when you rode back. It got very cold there in the winter, but I miss it....Quote:

At least it's cold enough now to make fake stuff. And next weekend our local xc trails will be open, whether we get precip. or not :) Thank god for snow guns.
